Power-Ranking the 12 Most Significant Talking Dragons of All Time

**12. Imagine Dragons

Where they dragon:** Everywhere

Imagine Dragons is the latest musical atrocity that Las Vegas thought would be a good idea to give to the world. They are the new Panic! at the Disco and we like to imagine that if we close our eyes and plug our ears, they never existed.

**11. Drag-On

Where he dragons:** Ruff Ryders Entertainment

Drag-On is a DMX associated rapper who rose to prominence in 2000 off his debut album, Opposite of H2O. In case you don't what that is: It's fire. Unfortunately for the rapper, his ability to spit hot flames didn't carry over to the rest of his albums, and he's been relatively quiet as of late.

**10. Mushu

Where he dragons:** Mulan

What he lacks in size, Mushu makes up for in snark. The smart-mouthed Chinese guardian spirit is as witty as they come. Out of all the dragons on this list, he may be the smallest, but probably the best one to get drunk with. Because come on, it's Eddie freaking Murphy.

**9. Falkor the Luckdragon

Where he dragons:** The Neverending Story

Let's be real here. Falkor is hardly a dragon. He's a long fucking dog. But he can fly, and he breathes blue fire, which I guess gives him dragon cred. But seriously, he's a big dog. He loves being scratched behind his ear and poor Atreyu probably has to clean up after him if he drops a huge dookie from 10,000 feet above sea level and it lands on some unfortunate farmer's barn.

**8. Spyro

Where he dragons:** Spyro/Skylanders

This purple guy went from being a cutesy mascot in the death knells of platform gaming to becoming the poster dragon for all those newfangled games where buying the figures in real life means unlocking them digitally. Now kids clamor for Skylanders shit and will probably trample you in the video game aisle looking for these little figurines while you pick up a copy of GTA V or the latest Call of Duty.

**7. Magellan

Where he dragons:** Eureeka's Castle

Magellan was essentially a dragon version of Uncle Joey from Full House. The Hawaiian shirt, clean white sneakers, and light denim also inadvertently made him a future menswear icon. Plus, his hat game was out of control. He probably has like, a hundred hats just stashed in a cave somewhere. Magellan: proto-hipster.

**6. Albi the Racist Dragon

Where he dragons:** Flight of the Conchords

Albi may be the only dragon that has a character arc. In a skit on Flight of the Conchords, this creature goes from ignorant racist to accepting lifelong friend. Also, he's the only dragon whose tears turn into jellybeans.

**5. Draco

Where he dragons:** Dragonheart

HE IS VOICED BY SEAN CONNERY. THE END.

**4. Maleficent

Where she dragons: **Sleeping Beauty

Out of all the beasts here, the evil witch from Sleeping Beauty—who could transform into a scaly dragon—was totally the sexiest one. She's being played by Angelina Jolie in the upcoming live-action remake, which only confirms the devilish hotness of this creature. Not to mention she breathes green fire.

**3. Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion

Where they dragon:** Game of Thrones

Okay, so these baby dragons can't really speak, but they can understand human speech. Just listen to how Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons, lovingly says "dracarys." They cook meat, they burn evil wizards, they melt slave owners. It's awesome.

2. Smaug

Where he dragons: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

We haven't seen The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug yet, but it's already evident from the trailer that Smaug is going to be one of best dragons ever. Why? Voice acting from Benedict Cumberbatch. Have you heard that man recite R. Kelly? Every word from his mouth sounds like velvet and caramel. Plus that mouth will be breathing fire.

**1. Trogdor the Burninator

Where he dragons:** Homestar Runner

Remember this guy?! He's freaking awesome. He's the bastard child of a sloppily-drawn "S" and the strong arm emoji. He has his own theme song. He's voiced by Strong Bad, arguably the greatest Internet meme of all time. Essentially, Trogdor is everything that was good about middle school with tiny stick figure legs.

Power-Ranking the 12 Most Significant Talking Dragons of All Time

The new Hobbit film features one of the greatest anthropomorphic dragons of all time: Smaug. In honor of the newest addition to the cannon of garrulous fire-breathing beasts, we ranked 'em all from worst to best (sorry Sisqó , you didn't make the cut)
